Roof Energy Audits and Analysis.

Your roof can be your best defense or your greatest enemy when it comes to energy costs. And in the current business climate, building owners are under increasing pressure to push profit margins ever wider. That’s why smart owners are looking upward for savings—and finding them embedded in their roofing systems. There are, however, many considerations when it comes to determining the right roof for your commercial enterprise, and chief among them are differences in terms of energy efficiency. For instance, the most energy-efficient roof in one region of the country might not perform as well elsewhere. To make an informed buying decision, you need to know your roof’s rate of heat transfer, which depends on numerous factors, including the type and amount of insulation, the degree of reflectivity, and even the ceiling material. That’s why North American Roofing provides an energy audit and analysis on every project. We can assess your current roofing solution for its ability to save on energy costs. Further, by comparing various roof types against regional weather demographics, we can accurately estimate your energy usage over the next 20 years. That sounds like helpful information for budget forecasting, doesn’t it? Call 800.551.5602 to learn more.

Let the Savings Begin

At the completion of our energy audit, we’ll give you a detailed comparison analysis of at least two different types of roofs. We’ll show you the initial costs to install the roofs, and we’ll project the long-term energy costs for each option. We use multiple factors, such as your building’s interior temperature, the number of sunny days in your region, the type of fuel you use for heating or cooling, and projected fuel inflation rates. In addition to analyzing the utility costs over the life of the roof, our energy audit estimates the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions that result from the energy demands of the competing roofs. We literally provide the value of an energy audit in every proposal we create.

Selecting the Right Roofing System

See if this sounds familiar: In an effort to save in the near term, you select a roofing system that’s the least expensive. And for a short time, you’re very happy with the decision. Then monthly heating or cooling costs begin to flood in, and you discover the least expensive option has become the most. That’s why it’s essential to compare installation costs with the long-term expenses associated with different roof systems. Low initial costs can result in higher maintenance fees, increased energy usage, and a shorter overall roof life.

Armed with our energy audit results, you can make an informed decision based on roof performance and lower utility costs. Quantifying the total life-cycle cost of your roof offers you the best long-term value and savings. At North American Roofing, we’re committed to helping you get the best roof for your money.

Flat Roof Repairs for Projects of Any Size

Adopting a proactive commercial roofing repair plan can extend the life of your roof, prevent leaks, and keep your tenants happy while saving you big bucks in the long run. Flat roofing repair falls into different categories: maintenance-type repairs, emergency repairs, and large-scale, deterioration-related repairs. No matter where your roof is, in terms of age or condition, a comprehensive commercial roof repair plan is an investment in your facility and your business.

Emergency Commercial Roof Repair

Weather-related damage is the most common cause of emergency-type commercial roof repair needs, which is why North American Roofing offers the Roof Disaster Response Program. Severe storms that bring gale-force winds, baseball-sized hail, and torrential rains can wreak havoc on any commercial roof. Emergency repairs should be temporary and offer immediate protection of the building’s structure and its contents, while establishing a safe water drainage route. After debris removal and professional roof assessment have taken place, schedule permanent commercial roof repair to follow as soon as possible.

Roof Repair vs. Roof Replacement

At some point, commercial flat roof repair is no longer an option. When you find yourself ordering roof repairs continuously, but leaks keep occurring, it might be time to quit patching the patches. No roof lasts forever and once a roofing membrane becomes brittle or splits, it’s time to consider replacing the roof. If you wait too long, repair costs and additional expenses to fix interior damage can end up costing you much more.

Extend Your Roof’s Life with Commercial Flat Roof Maintenance.

The best way to extend the life of your roof is with a comprehensive commercial roof maintenance plan. A well-maintained roof can last many years past its initial warranty period, and every astute building manager knows that pushing back roof replacement frees up capital that can be used for other business-related expenditures. Savvy building managers that want to get the most from their roof investment realize that regular commercial roof maintenance isn’t an option—it’s an integral part of a fiscally responsible facility plan.

Timing Is Everything in the World of Roof Maintenance

Optimally, a commercial roof should be inspected at least twice a year, usually in the spring and fall. Most roof system warranties have specific roofing maintenance guidelines that must be followed in order to keep the warranty in effect. In some cases, enrolling in a qualified commercial roof maintenance plan can actually extend your warranty.

Preventative Practices

In addition to regular inspections, warranty maintenance, and repairs, there are things facility managers can do to extend the service life of their roofs. All workers who have access to the roof should follow general precautions, such as not smoking on the roof, walking only on designated walk paths and pads, promptly clearing drain clogs, and making it a habit not to leave tools or other items on the roof.

How to Establish a Commercial Roofing Maintenance Plan

Documenting the history of the roof is imperative to a successful commercial roof maintenance plan. It’s nice to keep both a digital copy and a hard copy of all the necessary documents, which should include original roof specs, shop drawings and proposals, daily construction reports, manufacturer’s roofing system product sheets, warranty documents and records of all roof changes, modifications, and repairs.

Initial Roof Survey for a Commercial Roof Maintenance Plan

An initial comprehensive roof survey, including an energy audit analysis, provides a solid foundation at the start of a new commercial roof maintenance program. The survey should feature a detailed report of the roof’s current condition, the age and size of the roof, and the type of roofing system present. Any factor that influences the existing or future roof condition, such as location and type of access portals, the number and placement of paths, prevailing environmental factors and building use, are all invaluable when it comes to establishing a successful commercial roof maintenance plan.

Valuable Reasons to Enroll in a Roof Maintenance Program

Because a commercial roof is much more complicated and technical than it looks to the untrained eye, the best way to protect your investment is to hire a roofing specialist rather than handing over responsibility for the roof to a building maintenance crew. At North American Roofing, we assist our customers in making good roof repair and maintenance decisions. We use state-of-the-art thermography equipment that can detect potential leaks before they’re visible. Our goal is to keep your roof in top shape so you can go about the business of running your business.

How does it work?

Sign a letter of intent with North American Roofing to be your contractor to respond to all or a set of facilities in the event of a disaster. An agreed upon Not To Exceed (NTE) is set.

North American Roofing mobilizes prior to the storms based on your needs.

Let us know which facilities need response and we’ll dispatch crews to arrive as soon as it is safe and accessible.

Facilities are inspected and repairs are done up to the NTE. Repairs that exceed the NTE are quoted for approval.

Repair is documented and reporting includes before and after photos.

How to get started?

Call North American Roofing at 800.551.5602 before disaster strikes so you’ll be prepared with a disaster response plan and a team of experts at the ready.

Commercial Roof Snow Removal.

When heavy snowfall pushes weight limits on the roof to dangerous levels, it is imperative that the snow be removed to prevent a roof collapse. A roof collapse causes significant building damage, endangers people’s lives, risks damaging or destroying building contents, halts or reduces productivity, and usually leads to huge financial losses. Even winter’s routine freeze/thaw cycle can contribute to roof defects that can cause your roof to leak and damage your property.

We understand the importance of removing heavy snows before they damage your roof’s structural integrity. Our crews are experienced in removing snow in accordance with OSHA safety regulations. When you enroll your facility in one of our snow removal programs, you can count on us to be there to remove damaging snow before it affects your roof. We’re offering two types of snow removal services: Pre-Storm Program and Emergency Response Service. Call 800.551.5602 for a free quote today.

Snow Load Issues

One foot of light snow is approximately the same weight as one inch of water, which weighs five pounds per square foot. Heavy, wet, or packed snow can weigh substantially more, adding 10–20 pounds per cubic foot of weight to the roof’s surface. Snow that thaws and refreezes can weigh as much as 40–60 pounds per cubic foot. In northern climates where it’s not uncommon to receive three or more feet of snow at a time, the added weight quickly becomes a burden on the roof.

Signs of Snow Overload

Damage to the roof from heavy snow events is progressive. Snow accumulation that is not promptly removed can weaken the roof’s structure and surface, making it easier for subsequent snows to wreak havoc. In addition to making a visual assessment, check for other indicators that your roof has suffered from snow damage.

These signs include:

Noticeable roof deformities

New areas of ponding water after snowmelt

Sagging or bent metal purlins

Leaking, which could indicate membrane damage

Audible “popping” noises emanating from the building’s structure

Your facility’s original blueprints might include a notation of safe snow loads, but it can be difficult to determine snow load limits on older facilities and on weakened roof structures.

Snow Removal

When the time comes to remove excess snow or ice from your roof, it must be removed by hand, in a checkerboard pattern, to avoid causing instability in the roof. Snow removal equipment designed for use on the ground, such as snow blowers, power brooms, and ordinary snow shovels, can cause damage to your roof, along with skylights and buried gas lines, and you should never use a pick or axe to chop ice. Sending a general maintenance crew to the roof can be risky, due to potentially icy and slippery surfaces. Most maintenance crews do not have the expertise, safety equipment, and snow removal tools necessary to complete the job safely, and can oftentimes do more harm to your roof than good.

Don’t put your people or property at risk. Let our trained and skilled experts remove the snow from your roof. We have the OSHA-approved full protection equipment to properly and safely remove the snow. We also understand your roofing system and know how to protect it during the removal process. We’ll make sure you get your roof cleared without voiding your warranty.

Pre-storm Program

This proactive program is for the building manager or owner who likes to minimize his or her chances of disaster.

Let us know 48 hours before the storm, and we’ll be ready when it hits.

Receive our top priority response.

No holdups. One call and it’s done.

Custom snow removal plans developed for each facility and snow event.

Emergency Response Service

It’s said that the true measure of someone’s character is how he or she reacts in a crisis. So whether your emergency is man-made or courtesy of Mother Nature, you can rely on North American Roofing.

We’re ready to dispatch and mobilize skilled manpower, specialized equipment, and materials needed to get customers back in business quickly.

We provide all necessary documentation for filing insurance claims.

How Roof Snow Removal Works

All snow removal is to be completed on a time and materials basis. We reserve the right to assess each property on a location to location basis and in some cases, we may refuse to attempt the snow removal, should structural damage be evident, or if safety concerns cannot be rectified prior to the start of work.

Snow removal is a crucial part of commercial roofing maintenance. The professionals at North American Roofing can help.

Before scheduling can take place, the owner or owner’s representative is required to deem the building safe.

The owner is to provide North American Roofing with a Not To Exceed (NTE) amount along with a work order or purchase order number before any work can proceed.

North American Roofing will remove the snow from the roof according to the owner or owner’s representative’s specifications. All roof snow removal is to be coordinated with the owner’s ground clearing contractors for handling and removal of the snow from the site, at the owner’s expense.

North American Roofing will take every precaution not to damage the roof during the snow removal. However, if subsequent damage does occur North American Roofing will repair the damage at an extra charge to the owner.

North American Roofing will send “after” pictures of the snow removal along with a sign-off sheet with the signature of the owner’s representative if available at the time of completion.

Custom Roof Metal Fabrication.

You’ve made a substantial investment in your building’s roof, only to discover that in a few short years, the money you thought you were saving on installation or by removing edging components simply isn’t adding up. You suddenly have big costs in repairs thanks to Mother Nature, wind, and corrosion in the form of new perimeter coverings such as fascia, coping, and guttering. Metal edging components can protect the life cycle of your roofing system and offer a visually appealing exterior to your facility. Yet to fully realize those benefits, installation of your metal edge roof components must be impeccable. That’s why you can count on North American Roofing’s superior metal edge services. Our installation professionals are highly trained with metal roof edges, and are backed up by our custom in-house metal manufacturing facility. Combined, our nearly singular approach in the industry allows us to offer a wide variety of metal products alongside all major manufacturer brands for use in your roofing system. Discover more by calling 800.551.5602.

Metal Works Hard. Put It to Work for You.

Our ES-1 certified metal facility literally fabricates literally hundreds of thousands of linear feet of custom roof metal each month. The benefit to you is our use of top-of-the-line materials and custom-made solutions for your roofing design. Starting at the outer edge, our fabricated metal roof accessories and details not only look attractive, but are engineered and custom-fabricated to meet the specific condition of the building. This provides superior attachment—a clear advantage over many of our competitors.

We offer two tiers of roof edge metal: Our standard roof edge metal perimeter system provides a variety of options, colors, and styles, as well as a strong, protective solution for projects in areas where wind uplift is not severe. Our premium perimeter system offers the same aesthetic options as our standard system, yet is ideal for those areas that require additional coverage for extreme wind loads. With either option, we offer a full line of coping, gutters, details, trim, and full sheet panels in all gauges, colors, finishes, and metal-type choices.

The Benefits of Choosing Metal Roof Edging

Visually Appealing: With the variety of colors and styles of metal roof edging, the design capabilities are endless.

Durability: Metal edge roof components are not just attractive; they provide a protective system that helps prevent the upward and outward pull of membrane roof materials, which tend to peel or blow off during extreme wind loads. In addition, current standards such as the International Building Code (IBC) have dictated the use of ES-1 rated roof edge systems like those provided by North American Roofing. By designing and installing our ES-1 certified components, we can provide our customers a safer, longer-lasting roof.

Installation Ease: Because our metal edge roofing components are customer-engineered for functionality, they are easy to install. This ensures a proper fit and keeps your project on schedule.

Sustainability: Unlike metal roofing components of the 1970s, the metal we use today lasts much longer, without unattractive rust and decay. This extended life cycle benefits the environment by decreasing the demand on natural resources and the energy required to extract, manufacture, and replace an alternate system after just 15 to 20 years.

Our Metal Roofing Preferred Providers

When we’re not offering our clients a customized approach via our in-house metal fabrication facility, we insist on the very best metal from our preferred partners, we also partner alongside
